With the holidays behind us and Santa unlikely to check his Naughty or Nice list well into the upcoming New Year, now is the perfect time to unleash that suppressed vulgarity you may have built up inside you over the holidays with some choice phrases and expletives.

Of course, if you’re feeling particularly offensive, swearing in your native tongue generally isn’t all that impressive. But with the help of the Android Marketplace’s latest app Swearport you’ll be spouting off curses in languages you didn’t even know existed.

Not content with simply giving you a swear word in one of over 50 languages, Swearport also provides you with high quality audio recordings of each bad word from a native speaker as well as detailed information about its pronunciation, meaning, what its English equivalent would be, and finally, intensity rating out of five. You know, for those that truly want to delve into the art of international swearing – which is probably a good thing because it’s certainly important to know what you’re saying before you say it.

We can definitely see many a black eye stemming from Swearport more than all of the other apps on the Android Marketplace, which is why we recommend trying this app with friends, loved ones, or from the safety of an automobile speeding in the other direction of your potential verbal victim. And don’t blame us if you receive a lump of coal under the tree or in your stocking next year.

If you have one of these apps on your Android phone, delete it immediately

The NSO Group raised security alarms this week, and once again, it’s the devastatingly powerful Pegasus malware that was deployed in Jordan to spy on journalists and activists. While that’s a high-profile case that entailed Apple filing a lawsuit against NSO Group, there’s a whole world of seemingly innocuous Android apps that are harvesting sensitive data from an average person’s phone.
The security experts at ESET have spotted at least 12 Android apps, most of which are disguised as chat apps, that actually plant a Trojan on the phone and then steal details such as call logs and messages, remotely gain control of the camera, and even extract chat details from end-to-end encrypted platforms such as WhatsApp.
The apps in question are YohooTalk, TikTalk, Privee Talk, MeetMe, Nidus, GlowChat, Let’s Chat, Quick Chat, Rafaqat, Chit Chat, Hello Chat, and Wave Chat. Needless to say, if you have any of these apps installed on your devices, delete them immediately.
Notably, six of these apps were available on the Google Play Store, raising the risk stakes as users flock here, putting their faith in the security protocols put in place by Google. A remote access trojan (RAT) named Vajra Spy is at the center of these app's espionage activities.

How to force close apps on your Android device

Smartphone apps are great. They're quick to load, and generally well optimized. But have you ever noticed that they tend to get faster at loading after you've used them a bit? That's not your mind playing tricks on you; it's because your Android smartphone doesn't tend to close apps even when you're done with them. Instead, it keeps them tucked away in its memory. This makes going back to apps faster, and if it becomes a memory hog, Android generally knows how to fix that.
